PLANNING

Making your Dream Home become a reality begins with a plan. In an initial meeting with our team we will determine the scope of the project specific to your lot such as utilities and permitting requirements. While we are experienced in building homes in established sub divisions, we also have the expertise to help you navigate building in more rural areas where you are required to construct your own utilities such as wells septic tanks and last mile secondary power from an electrical coop. At the initial meeting, we will begin the Home Planning Process where we will capture your vision for your new home as well it's style and feel. You can bring your own plan or we will draw one for you based on your specific taste, needs, and budget. Chances are we already have a plan with the style and feel you want in our portfolio of Custom Home Projects. Lastly, We will walk you through the financing process and introduce you to our financing partners.
